Hi,
Can you please tell me how to move the recently viewed products from left column to center/main column? Can it also be styled the same way as the latest product like the homepage. Please see attached screenshot.
Thank you.

Sorry, title should be recently viewed products not related. Any answer?
Hi vertex,
To move that block from left the the content section you can try as following
Copy the layout file of app\design\frontend\base\default\layoutreports.xm l to the folder app\design\frontend\default\jm_asenti\layout , open the copied file you would see this block tag
HTML Code:
<block type="reports/product_viewed" before="right.permanent.callout" name="right.reports.product.viewed" template="reports/product_viewed.phtml" />
You can remove the block tag there to get rid of it from the left col
To add the block to the main content of your homepage you just go to edit your Home Cms page in your back-end, there Click at the Design tab on the left side you would see this tag in the field of Layout update xml
HTML Code:
<reference name="content-top"> <block type="joomlart_jmtabs/core" name="jmtabs"> <action method="addTabs_staticblock"> <title>Today's special</title> <identifier>tab-01</identifier> </action> <action method="addTabs_staticblock"> <title>Most wanted</title> <identifier>tab-02</identifier> </action> </block> </reference>
Just put right below it this new tag
HTML Code:
<reference name="content"> <block type="reports/product_viewed" before="right.permanent.callout" name="right.reports.product.viewed" template="reports/product_viewed.phtml" /> </reference>
Hope you got the ideal !
HI, I was able to delete the block from left column but adding to the home page cms design did not work. Instead I copied the code to catalog.xml.
I was able to make recently viewed items show up in product view page but it only have list of product names. There are no thumbnail and no price. How do I edit the layout of the recently viewed products?
Thanks.
Hi vertex615,
Go to the folder app\design\frontend\default\jm_asentitemplaterep orts you create a new template file there, for example name it product_viewedhome.phtml, you put into this file the content of the product_viewed.phtml file from the same folder
You replace the above layout tag
HTML Code:
<reference name="content"> <block type="reports/product_viewed" before="right.permanent.callout" name="right.reports.product.viewed" template="reports/product_viewed.phtml" /> </reference>
by this
HTML Code:
<reference name="content"> <block type="reports/product_viewed" name="right.reports.product.viewedhome" template="reports/product_viewedhome.phtml" /> </reference>
Finally you can open that new file app\design\frontend\default\jm_asentitemplaterep orts\product_viewedhome.phtml to edit the layout of the recently viewed products block on the main section.
